McHENRY, N.D. (AP) — Thirty linemen who are working in North Dakota on a major transmission line are living in a mobile crew camp that will follow them as their work moves.

The Michels Corp. employees are working on the $312 million Minnkota Power project that will run 250 miles from Center to Grand Forks.

The camp that opened in August just outside of McHenry consists of two dozen 53-foot trailers that can be easily moved and set up at a new location.

Each residential trailer has four to six rooms with stairs leading up to each entrance.

Two trailers make up the kitchen and food storage areas and two trailers are used as dining areas, all connected by walkways.

Company officials tell The Forum (http://bit.ly/QnIRsY) that the camp will eventually house 80 workers.
